He looks down beneath him
A pool of his own blood
Struggling for a single breath
While falling to the mud
This cannot be the end
This was not meant for me
I shall never surrender
To the taunt of agony
I've sworn to keep on fighting
To defend my family
And if I die, under these blackened skies
There will be no peace for me
A king of men, a hero of legends
My sword shall know only sorrow
And with the thought, that loved ones brought
I shall live to see tomorrow
The crashing of armor
The sparks out of swords
The deafening screams
The sight of our lords
For these times we trained
In cold winter's chill
But nothing prepared us
With a conscious to kill
And now we know the horror
We've seen the blackened light
We live to kill, and kill to live
Believing our purpose is right!
A king of men, a hero of legends
My sword shall know only sorrow
And with the thought, that loved ones brought
I shall live to see tomorrow
Back into focus
I dare not tremble down
The pain may be potent
But they are still around
Struck down another soldier
The battle is taking it's tole
I'm bleeding from my armor
I'm bleeding from my soul
Breathing so hard
I see only blur
Did we win the battle?
Until today, no one knows for sure...
If we have learned one thing, than let it be known
The only way to return from battle
Is drenched in your enemy's blood,
Or drowning in your own. |
